For those wondering, this was the article (archive) that caused Scott so much anguish. He wasn't wrong. The piece was a full course of dog shit, seasoned, cooked, and plated by an absolute buffoon.

Yeah, the author is really stupid. They don't appear to think for a moment how great it would be for everyone to afford air conditioning at all times. Don't they know excessive noise is bad for your health?

Let's break this down.
Journalists < smallpox < bed bugs < anthrax < termites < Schlomo himself < bronies < transhumanists < [. . .] < Scott.
If an autist is causing incessant noise by screeching for no reason, someone needs to go and put down that autist.
Quiet autists should definitely be tolerated, though.

Not to mention the use of loud and/ repetetive sound/ music is a well documented form of psychological torture used by various military groups.
Methinks the author is a loud nigger who got told to shut the fuck up In the movie theater and decided everyone telling him to please shut the fuck up was raycis.

Disliking noise is racist because the loudest minority are ghetto blacks who blast their car music at full for hours for the same reason why dogs piss on furniture.

I think the stress effects (direct stress effects, not through sleep) are slightly overblown if you're thinking about city noise. It really messes with your sleep though, I don't think that gets enough attention. I've always wondered how much various claimed "bugman" effects (bystander effect, "fluoride stare") are really to do with sleep deprivation.

People who live in cities get used to the normal noise and sometimes even start to need noise to fall asleep after a while. Yeah, random honking and screaming and stuff would disrupt sleep but that’s not a daily occurrences . I don’t think it has much to do about sleep deprivation. Most bugmen would probably start whining on reddit id they didn’t get their 8-9 hours, it’s why some of them hate babies so much. ( if you live in an apt you can hear a screaming baby through the wall). Im intimately familiar with chronic sleep deprivation and worked with many a bugman and i dont think there’s much correlation.

This is just plagiarizing Ursula K. LeGuin's story, which won the 1974 Hugo for Best Short Story.

Is he reading the Aella thread? Because people were talking about the story there.

It's funny he picked it actually, because it's generally regarded as a critique and rejection of utilitarianism.

I don't think Yudkowsky's a utilitarian but it's hard to tell. I think a lot of his fanbase is and he does not want to piss them off.

I don't know if he still is, but his notorious "dust mote" rant is peak utilitarian.

Or just her twitter feed, as she tweeted about her omelas themed orgy there. His fixation on that is probably what brought out this tweet …
he’s clearly referencing it and trying to add a twist.

I read it as yet another brainchild of LeGuy's gay ass obsession with feminism. Every time Yid opens his hairy-vagina looking mouth, it's some child murder "thought experiments". You'd think he'd interpret Omelas through the dust speck torture lens, but no it's an Epstein Island what-if.

In situations that actually matter, clearly and concisely explain why you disagree. In situations that don't matter, walk away and think for a bit so you don't have to emit an overused platitude.

Schlomo spergs about AI killing us all so you shouldn't even try to use it to cure death because reasons. Promotes cryonics as if it's a silver bullet.
source (a)
Even the biggest supporters of cryonics admit it assumes people in the future can figure out how to fix what killed you. Without that knowledge cryonics is just as bad as death. This is pure "trust me bro" thinking already but it's made even worse when you ban AI because some tranny-simping Jewish doomer said so so you can't even use AI to revive cryonics patients.
